The settlement has a fund of four-point-three million dollars to reimburse the cost of losing tickets for a set of drawings between November of 2005 and November 2013. Those who have a claim can go to: LotteryGameSettlement.com. Tipton is serving a 25-year prison sentence for setting up the lottery scam.
